1997 Dallas Cowboys season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the first time since 1990, the Cowboys would suffer a losing season and miss the playoffs. Though the season began well with a 3-1 record, the Cowboys would soon see a sharp decline that included five consecutive loses to closeout the year. Rumors of infighting between quarterback Troy Aikman and head coach Barry Switzer plagued the team and Switzer would be dismissed after the season. Notable additions to the team that year include linebacker Dexter Coakley.
